Shirley as I call her, still visits a few times a week this winter. She's been chased by the Coopers a few times but she still comes back.
Nom nom nom. :P

This Northern Mockingbird continues to enjoy the Holly berries out back. Prior to this winter, we would only see a Mockingbird in the summer, in the baths.

And a backyard lifer for us this winter are some visiting American Tree Sparrows (4). So nice to see some different birds out back this winter.

Beautiful pics, so this is the bird that has been taking our Doves ... he has gone and now an older one has dropped in ..

Could it be a Coopers Hawk that has been taking your Doves? They look like a Sharp-shinned, only much bigger. Although a few winters ago our Sharpie did snag a Dove one day. I was told that's quite impressive for such a bird.
